  1. Re:Shows how little we know about the universe on Superflares Found On Sun-Like Stars · · Score: 2

    Why are you posting when there's science to do. You've experiments to run. There is research to be done.

  2. Re:Hew, hew, hew! on Big Media and Big Telcos Getting Nasty In Landmark Australian Law Case · · Score: 0

    This is where the moderation on /. utterly fails. By virtue of the parent post being modded +5 I am forced to expand the GP to get context. Now that undoes the -1 moderation of the GP.

    How am I ever to get through the morning if I'm tricked into reading -1 posts...

    I firmly believe that the AC is the same poster as the GP, using this tactic to get us to read the spam post through the use of humor.

  3. Re:just another reason to hate jesus freaks on Archaeologists Find Oldest Known Mayan Calendar · · Score: 1

    Well if you read TFA and looked at the pictures taken of the calendar, you'd see that after the last date there is a pictograph of a pulpy, tentacled head surmounting a grotesque scaly body with rudimentary wings.

    So really it's no surprise they constantly fought each other and destroyed neighboring cities.

    She?? LOL ROTFL You think I have time in my busy schedule for female interaction?!? You need to get with the program!

  10. Re:Please not another MMO on Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls MMO · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pfft, you're suck a slacker, I've been playing this MMO for only 30 years. Sure for the first 18 I noobed about a bit, but then I got into this hard-core 'work' that raids 5 days a week, officially, but ofc I grind on the weekends too.

    I'm almost lvl 55 now. You should check out my epic mount.

    Cthulhu's gunna be pretty mad when he wakes up to find people have tramped through his shrubbery.

  14. Re:So why the right hand? on The Science of Handedness · · Score: 1

    I practised writing right to left and in reverse as Leonardo Da Vinci was known to do, and it felt a bit wierd at first, but eventually it became easier. Obviously I didn't continue past satisfying my curiosity, because nobody would be able to read it easily.

  15. Re:really? on Analytic Thinking Can Decrease Religious Belief · · Score: 2

    My non-scientific guess is that analytic thinking can decrease belief in anything you haven't analyzed.

    I have the same problem every day, like think about the word "analyzed"

    Repeat it in your head a few times
    Analyzed
    analyzeD
    analYzed
    anAlyzed
    (slooooowly) aaanaaalyyyyyzed

    At what point do you start thinking that it isn't a real word?

    Seriously, you don't even need annotations. Everyone with enough brain cells to rub together will start rolling their eyes in the first chapter already.

    Would YOU like to drink a beer that had been in a Hydrophobic bottle for days if not weeks? Imagine if your arachnophobic girlfriend was kept in a spider-lined room for days. Would you like to be there when the door was opened?

    So you attack my argument that the main subject of this article is not scientifically sound (Shorter Telomeres in Abused children implies that abuse causes short Telomeres) by deliberately misrepresenting my position on Spartans and accuse me of building a strawman?

    Bravo sir, bravo.

    If someone can get a message to him I'd like for him to try the following:

    On his next book, ensure that it is sold with the most Draconian DRM possible and then check the sales stats vs the piracy stats after a similar timeframe.

  25. Re:On a related note... on Childhood Stress Leaves Genetic Scars · · Score: 1

    You will notice that I said Perhaps and ended my sentence with a ?

    If I had said "The Spartans had it Right" then it would be fair to assume that was my belief, but I wrote it as a through provoking question that you instead decided to leap on in order to flame with some false righteous fires.

    I can't wait to hear your argument about our instinct not to mate with our own offspring. Is that something we should also overcome? That instinct is there to promote genetic diversity and strength through interbreeding. By your logic, our society should try to overcome this instinct, hell certain monarchs have tried this already. If we cut down on this filthy and disgusting instinct to breed with genetically diverse populations we could also preserve our genetic purity, right?
